The end number is $79 per month, not including taxes, insurance, electricity and whatever maintenance that's expected of the lessee. $79 per month is still pretty cheap.

After two years they want $22,226 for the car, which is where things get expensive. Car loans are now going for 8%, which means a 5-year loan would be a monthly payment of $450 per month, not including any taxes or fees.

And this is for a car that wouldn't be good for driving out of town.

It's still tempting.
